I agree with this assessment. I gave it a try but after seeing how many packages BFMR and others lost, I had to stop. BFMR loses amazon packages SO OFTEN. Like 5-10% often. I literally lost money. And they offer no recourse with little to no customer support. They ghost you. So many datapoints of this. Same with other groups like EMB and maxout.
Whats even worse is that the retailers ban your accounts and can link them to your main account. Target did this for me. My partner was very upset that she couldn't shop online at target anymore. Best buy as well. I would not recommend this to anyone. Dropshipping is way too risky and one order of 3x macbooks lost can cost you $4k+. |
Hi everyone, quick question: I am currently in the process of applying for a Sellers permit in CA to be able to buy products for Buying Groups in stores without having to pay tax.
On the CDTFA website, I am asked to choose an NAICS Code. I was thinking of choosing 454110 - Electronic Shopping and Mail-Order Houses, but - for some reason - am unable to... Any idea why? Any other suggestion as far as NAICS Code I could choose? |

If anyone needs any assistance with BuyingGroup'.com let me know happy to help with anything and if anyone has any questions feel free to ask
Stick to top three groups BG, EMB, BFMR. There will be no rug pulls especially with the BG package policy our members don't lose when they send to us like they deal with others. while other groups may tell there members they have a policy and there members chase them for the money our claims take 2-4 weeks to be paid for any loss packages or missing items. our missing and loss rate is super low at the moment and we are super happy with it. |
if you live close by to non sales tax state, or have box there it makes a bit easier I usually do a drop off when I'm in PNW, also you can do your own retail arb through sneakers, ....it's about what you enjoy the most arbing, buying or points, x y z find what you're likely to enjoy and it's not a grind

Small claims court
Has anyone taken any of the groups to small claims court over missing packages that Amazon shows as delivered and won't refund?
|
I doubt any of us has any legal recourse. We are basically buying stuff for strangers for a pinky promise to be paid back.

If ya can't stand the heat, get outta the kitchen, or in other words, make certain that your benefits accrued from the exercise exceed your risk of capital loss ;) |
I had one for a while, it doesn't matter as long as you file very quarter with the state

I know this isn't really the best thread for this, but I haven't found a better one to post this in. Does anyone have any DPs on whether multiple Dell.com accounts under same info work? I have one account working to ship to a private tax-free address. I'm wondering if they're like Amazon in the sense that they allow up to 3 accounts under same info before you get into hot water with them.

Anyone have their Amazon account/s auto cancel orders to buying groups? Happening with me - I initially thought this was only for Apple devices but even Roku orders not going through. Wondering if anyone has gone through this and if it is a permanent ban or just some cooling period required?

Buyinggroup.com
Does anyone have experience with Buyinggroup.com (located in Oregon)? This one is not mentioned in the Wiki --- I believe this is not MYS Buying Group or USA Buying Group.
I have not used them ... only used Buy For Me Retail and Deal and Runner. Thanks ... Jack |
I am replying to my own email --- so more research online. This appears to be the same group (Mark Mann) of thedealbuyer.com. I saw one or two reports that say "this is a scam" -- and there were problems with Thedealbuyer and they basically created a new identity and website. Not sure this is true or not -- I have no experience with Thedealbuyer or buying group.com.
